Chapter 31

Ethan's POV

I know Bella has some complications with her mom, but she should tell her she's leaving with me. What if she doesn't let her go with me? There's so many thoughts in my mind right now. Gray and I dropped out of school and started doing online school. The bullying started getting really bad. But my mom agreed to let us go to la. I just hope Bella's mom does the same.

Isabellas POV

The weekend with Ethan was great. I can't wait until next month. In the car I told Kira all about it.

"Don't you think you guys are going to fast, you guys are still very young." Kira said keeping her eyes on the road.

"I know Kira but life here in New York is getting so miserable for me. I have no friends here other than you, my own mother treats me like a piece of trash on the side of the road. Going with Ethan is my only escape."

"You're right. I would probably do the same if I were you." Kira said.

"Thanks for understanding." When we got home I immediately stared packing. Kira walked in my room.

"Don't you think it's too early to be packing?" She took a bite into an apple.

"Yea but I want to be super prepared."

"You're just like you're father." She laughed and walked out. I was going through my closet and saw a bunch of photo albums. I went through them. It made me sad to see what a happy family we were. They treated me like a princess. I closed my eyes and remembered all the memories we had.

'Cmon Bella just imagine you're flying.' I was on my dads shoulders and we were outside. The sun was bright and the birds were chirping. Mom was setting up a picnic on the backyard. 'Foods ready.' We sat down. Mom kissed Dad and I made a grossed out face. We all laughed. We had a family tickle fight after. They started chasing me. 'We're gonna get cha.' I sprinted for my life. I was upstairs taking a nap. I heard mom and dad screaming. 'Amy you can't keep doing all this, we have a 5 year old daughter.' He held up a bag with white stuff in it. ' I know bill but I just can't help it' 'Amy you're gonna end up hurting yourself and our baby girl' 'but bill I can't just stop' 'so your choosing this over family, you're disgusting.' I ran back upstairs and pretended to fall asleep. Dad walked in my room. He sat on my bed rubbing my face. 'Everything will be ok Bella, I promise.' A tear rolled down his cheek.

I opened my eyes. I just realized the reason mom is like this was because of drugs. I started crying. Dad didn't deserve someone like her. He deserved someone much better. I cupped my face into my hands. I couldn't look at the pictures anymore it hurt to much. I started looking through another box. There were letters that Dad wrote to me when I was little, but he never let me read.

Bella,

I'm on a business trip right now and you're in your kindergarten classroom. You're probably wearing a really cute dress and your hair is cute little pigtails. Once you're old enough to read this you're probably all grown up. You've probably never realized how mom does drugs and how she cheats on me with other guys. When you read this your mother and I will be separated. I don't want her to hurt you or anyone else. It's for the best. But everything will be ok I promise.

Bella,

I know it's been years since I said that we're leaving your mother. She just won't let me. I've been trapped, she is threatening to hurt me or you if we leave. We just act super happy around you so you don't get scared. I pretend to still love her so you don't end up getting hurt. I just want the best for my little girl. Just know that you'll always be my little girl.

I started crying harder. I can't believe what I'm reading. This guy handed me 2 pieces of paper on my dads funeral. I didn't want to open it because I'd know it would hurt too much. I opened and read it. It for sure hurt.

Bella,

I'm finally separating from you're mother. I'm finally going to be free. I know it'll hurt you but shes been treating you very unfair lately. If you're wondering why, it's because she's been getting into harsher drugs. When we separate I don't want you to be with her. She doesn't deserve to see you.  After all she's done to this family she doesn't deserve my little sunshine.

Bella,

My plane is crashing down. I'm writing this really fast because the pilot said we have at least 7 minutes before we go down. Just know that no matter what happens you'll always be my little girl. You're the reason I smile everyday. When I was a kid I had no one that loved me. My father left me and my mother was an alcoholic. I never thought I would ever love anything as much as I loved you. When I'm in heaven I'll watch over you and make sure your doing good. If you ever remember me I want you to forget me. I don't want you feeling sad. But if you do remember me feel happy, because I loved you very much. Once you start feeling sad forget me. Bella just know that everything will be ok, I promise.

It hurt, it hurt a lot. I never realized what was happening in my life. It was all right in front of me. I found some frames and I framed the last letter. I put next a picture of me and my dad when I was little. I then cried myself to sleep.
